Spicy Stone Fruit Chutney

It is a spicy dish and the recipe reflects that. We love hot foods and the version we usually make increases the amount of chipotle used. For you though, we toned it down a bit to the medium level…feel free to increase or decrease based on your preference. And yes, the Sprout loves this spicy dish as well! She loves global flavors, including the hot stuff! This spicy version is just the kick that sweet, stone fruits need! It adds so much pizzazz to whatever you serve it with!

Cooking is a great way to teach your kiddo about the world around them! Our Sprout is always right there with us. (The tub of brown sugar pictured above helps haha!)

We love making chutneys. It’s a fabulous way to use up fruit that is bruised, split, or over ripe. As a chef, Dave’s job is to maximize the bakery’s income which often means utilizing every possible way to keep food costs low. Here at the cottage we try to do the same.

This series really focused on that idea…using produce that is abundant right now in ways that you can enjoy throughout the summer or even around the year by canning, freezing etc.

Just a reminder, its totally okay if you don’t grow any of the produce we used! The homesteading mentality includes buying in season (when food is the most affordable) or pairing up with neighbors and friends who do have the room to grow produce or raise animals. Homesteading is all about living as locally as possible and knowing where your food comes from.

We hope you’ve enjoyed the recipes and we hope to bring you more ways to utilize food that is tasty as well as helpful to your budget.
